Portland Lodge  

Good location. Does what it says on the tin.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. We could eat out locally in the evening without having to take the car. In the summer would be ideally placed for the beach and for trips into Weymouth and the surrounding County of Dorset. The new Sailing Academy and activities associated with the 2012 Olympics is changing the nature of the Island which was once a Naval Base. Hopefully this will be for the good. There was free Wifi which was a great PLUS. But, Portland is wild, not visually attractive in a traditional sense. It has an interesting history and if one is interested in fossils, quarries,shipwrecks and ghosts then they would enjoy it.

We were in the room for a disabled person(s) and outside the door was a machine for water, cokes etc. To keep its contents cold, it ran a motor at regular intervals all day/night. A light sleeper or someone who found sleep difficult (a strong possibility if one has a disability) would find this very disturbing. I did comment to this effect on the hotel questionnaire.

The receptionist was very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. With a good local knowledge of the facilities available in the local area and recommendations.The room was comfortable and clean, with all the facilities specified. The breakfast provided was excellent and checking out could not have been easier.

Non readily come to mind

Breakfast

Room was damp hand towels were damp bathroom rundown pillows hard room very basic for £62 that we paid

Room comfortable, friendly service, nice breakfast.

Room was a bit damp....I Believe this was due to the extractor in the bathroom not working. This did not spoil my stay, but it is the only negative point I can think of.

Basic clean accomodation

Noisy !! my room was bye the entrance and everytime someone came in it made my door rattle, very annoying

The large bathroom.

The hot chocolate had an awful taste.

affordable prices and yet cleanliness was the best thing I enjoyed during the stay. No pets and no smokers policy makes this hotel stand out in hygiene. Food was good, and the family enjoyed the stay as the rooms had all the basic facility.

Location could be better but that cant be helped..

Hotel aconchegante, bem localizado, atendimento bom, cafe da manha simples mas gostoso, limpeza do quarto boa, nada a reclamar

Rustig gelegen boven op de top van Portland. Zicht kamer vooraan= knap. (minder is de redelijk drukke weg) Kamers achteraan zijn dan weer super rustig. Het hotel zelf is erg 70’s style en de gangen een waar labyrint. Welke architect verzint zoiets? (alles is aanwezig, maar basic) Lijkt mij prima voor iemand (of koppel) die een goedkoop hotel wenst voor een 1 of enkele nachten en niet maalt om basiscomfort. Voor gezinnen, zeker met jonge kinderen lijkt mij dit hotel minder geschikt.

Serieus vochtprobleem (roest, overgeschilderde vochtschimmel en vochtgeur) in de badkamer van kamer 1. Eigenlijk had ik een andere kamer moeten vragen, maar was veel te moe om de discussie aan te gaan…

Prima douche

Eenvoudig hotel; niet alles even schoon, zoals de theekopjes (plakkerig, mondafdrukken)
